    Anthus sp., Masai Mara, June 2024

    I guess it's an African Pipit, but I'm not 100% sure. Any argument would help. (the only photo)

    Falco sp., Masai Mara, June 2024

    Can this raptor be identified? Is the only photo I've got. A couple of minutes earlier in that area (maybe 500m away) I saw a Grey Kestrel.

    Riparia sp., Masai Mara, 27 aug 2024

    Sorry for the quality of the images, they were taken at noon so pretty strong heat haze. I hope I'm not wrong about the genus.

    I originally had this bird down as a Peregrine but I am now wondering if it is a Peregrine/Lanner cross. Any thoughts?

    Samburu, Kenya, October 2023

    This is the last stop on our trip to Kenya, and the final batch of questions. My best attempts are: 2362: Some species of Lark, if so what? 2735: Variable Sunbird; 2747: Grey Hornbill - although the guides I've looked at show them to be more brown than grey. 2998: Some species of Weaver, if so...

    Kenya: Birding in Africa's Top Safari Destination

    Kenya is well known and established as one of the best places left on earth to see many of the iconic megafauna of Africa, not just the Big-5, but also many other iconic species that we've seen in zoos and nature documentaries since we were old enough to remember. While I can say with confidence...

    A tricky little bird, that I finally managed a decent look at amidst the tangled undergrowth.

    Tsavo Sunbird

    A lovely sunbird restricted to the dry savannahs of southeastern Kenya and northern Tanzania. Fittingly, I saw it in Tsavo West National Park!

    RFI : car + driver for Tsavo NP + Taita Hills

    Good evening, I'm looking for a good plan to rent a car+driver for a 6 days visit to Tsavo East/West, Taita Hills and maybe Amboseli NP. I got a quote for a tour company but at 5000$ for 2 for 5 days I've the feeling that it's a bit too expensive for me :sick: Can you recommend me some local...
  20. Hybrid Lovebird

    Hybrid Lovebird

    Yes they exist! Here in Kenya we have a feral population of Fischers and Yellow-collared lovebirds - they have crossbred and multiplied with most of the hybrids being fertile! Not sure what SN to tag this as, happy to take the lead from the moderators.

    Spotted Thick-knee

    These guys are not the easiest to spot because of their camouflage and habit of staying very still. But they're actually quite common and spread across much of Eastern and Southern Africa.

    East Coast Akalat

    A much sharper image than the one I uploaded for the Opus article a year ago: https://www.birdforum.net/gallery/east-coast-akalat.644912/ These are a shy forest robin found only in coastal forests of Eastern Africa. Always a treat to seem them!

    Arctic Skua

    AKA Parasitic jaeger. This is a 2nd year pelagic bird that is mostly seen far offshore. So I was really lucky to find this one blown to shore by the rough winds. A proper rarity for us in Kenya.

    Secretary Bird

    The serpent killer! This majestic, beautiful and unique bird is only found in Africa - unfortunately they are now a species with a steep population decline, and need to be protected. Kicker of a scientific name too!
